SMOKERS STAND- Application filed August 23,1926. Serial No. 131,044.

This invention relates to improvements in smokers stand of the'classhaving a base with a hollow tube connecting the to a tray for thedeposit of cigar and cigarette ashes, butts, and other waste, as burntmatches, etc.

The object of the present invention is to provide more convenient meansfor emptyin and cleaning the stand. One of the 1 us to that end is theprovision of a base with a hinged cover member on which is a taperhollow tube. Another means to attain that object provides for aremovable waste receptacle in the of the stand. Other objects ill appearto those skilled in the art as the description proceeds.

An embodiment of the invention shown in the accompanying drawing, inwhich the same reference numeral is applied to the same portionthroughout, but I am aware that modiiiactions may be made in theconstruction shown.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the complete stand.

Figure 2 is a rear elevation of the stand showing the hinge.

F igure 8 is a plan of the stand.

Figure at is an enlarged view of the base, the hinged cover, and part ofthe tube, in section, showing the removable waste re- (-eptacle therein.

Figure is a detached view of the rcmo able waste receptacle.

The numeral 3 represents the to which a cover is attached by a hinge andis held in the closed position by the pin t which is fixed to a spring 5attached to the base by rivets or other means. The pin it is adapted tosnap into a hole 6 in the cover.

011 the inside of the base is a lining 7 of sheet metal spaced from thebottom and hold at the edges by the seam 8. The space thus formed isadapted to be filled with some heavy material like lead 9 to obtain therequired ballast. I

The base is partly spherical in form in this instance, and has the flatcentral portion 10, grooves 11, and the rounded up sides 12. The flatportion extends from A to B. The

large end of a taper tube 16 fixed in a central opening therein.

The tube is long enough to make a con- -venient smokers stand, and hasthe'trav l7 fixed on the upper end. The tray has a flat place 18 and hasan opening in the center, opening into'the tube. A match box holder otwell known type is fixed on the tray.

The taper tube may be of any shape in cross section, a hexagon is shown,but a round, square,.oval or other shape may be used. i

Fitting into the base and conforming to the shape of the bottom thereofis a waste receptacle 20 which is adapted to be taken out and emptiedwheniilled. The receptacle has the turned over rim 21. p

I In use, ashes, cigar stubs, etc, are dropped into the tray where itfalls down the tube to the waste'receptacle. To remove the receptaclethe pin t is pressed in, to release the cover which is tilted back onthe hinge, the

waste receptacle taken out, emptied, and

cleaned. The interior of the base, cover, and tube can be more readilycleaned by means of this invention.

The stand is preferably made of sheet metal but may be made of othermaterial.

lVhat I claim is as follows, but various modifications may be made inthe construc- .tion shown inthe drawings and above par ticularlydescribed form within the scope of the claims. I

A smokers stand. of the class described comprising a partly sphericalbase, a partly spherical cover hinged to open radially on said base, ataper tube fixed to said cover, a

tray on said tube, and a waste receptacle in said base adapted to extendabove the meeting line of said base and said cover In testimony whereofI have hereunto set JOSEPH W. SAVERY.
